Carton Compression Tester
Category：Universal Strength Tester
Introduction
The Carton Compression Tester is designed to evaluate the compressive strength, deformation, and stacking performance of corrugated cartons, honeycomb boxes, and other packaging containers such as plastic drums, paper drums, cartons, paper cans, and intermediate bulk containers (IBC). The equipment provides accurate measurement of carton compressive capacity and supports constant load stacking tests, offering reliable data for packaging design and determining warehouse stacking heights.
Application
This tester is suitable for the following testing scenarios:
Compression testing of corrugated cartons and honeycomb boxes
Compressive strength evaluation of plastic drums (e.g., edible oil, bottled water)
Compression and deformation tests of paper drums, cartons, and paper cans
Stackability testing of intermediate bulk containers (IBC)
Packaging material R&D, quality control, and logistics transport assessment
